There's a reason monkey books are so prevalent. They're so freaking cute! I also can't believe I got through an entire monkey program with doing "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." It was on my cheat sheet, but somehow I just skipped right over it. Luckily, there's enough awesome monkey stuff packed into the story time that I don't think anyone noticed.

Make and Take Craft: Monkey Puppets
Supplies:
-monkey faces (pattern here)
-popsicle sticks
-crayons
-pipe cleaners
Process:
Before story time, I glued the monkey heads to the Popsicle sticks. After story time, we met at the craft table and I handed out the puppets and 2 Popsicle sticks per person. As the kids colored the monkey faces, I showed the adults how to wrap the pipe cleaners around the stick to make bendable arms and legs.
Time: Prep took about 10 minutes and the craft took 20.
